Strike Amp 12 Features

Rear Panel

1.AC Input: Use the included power cable to connect this input to a power outlet.

Make sure the Power Switch is set to off when connecting or disconnecting the cable.

2.Fuse: If the unit’s fuse is broken, lift this tab to replace the fuse. Replace it with a fuse with an appropriate rating (printed under the unit’s power cable input). Using a fuse with an incorrect rating can damage the unit and/or fuse.

3.Power Switch: Use this switch to power the loudspeaker on or off. Make sure the Volume knob is set to its minimum (counterclockwise) position before turning it on.

4.Power LED: This LED lights up when the loudspeaker is on.

5.Volume: Turn each knob to adjust the volume of each input.

6.Input: Use a standard XLR cable or 1/4” (6.35 mm) TRS cable (not included) to connect your audio source to this input.

7.Output: Use a standard XLR cable (not included) to connect this output to the input of another loudspeaker (i.e., another Strike Amp).

8.Signal Limit LED: This LED lights up green when an audio signal is sent to the loudspeaker—it flashes at lower levels and lights solidly at higher levels. The LED lights up red when output limit/protection is active—if the LED is lit red continuously, reduce the volume of your audio source.

9.Contour: Engage (depress) this button to emphasize low and high frequencies by +3 dB. Disengage (raise) the switch for a flatter response for live performance or for maximum output.

10.Ground Switch: Engage (depress) this switch to reduce hum or noise.
